General Atomics (GA) is looking to solve high-technology systems development problems ranging from nuclear fuel cycle to remotely piloted aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies.
Requirements
- Embedded systems, software, and controls; analysis, design, and implementation of software for hardware systems including digital, analog, and RF is required.
- Experience with C/C++, Xilinx Vivado Design Suite, VHDL, Microsoft Project, MATLAB, LabVIEW.
- Desirable Experience: Embedded systems development for photonics and aerospace applications, power electronics, high-power computing, or digital control of power supplies and control systems; guiding a design through development and into production.
- Demonstrate technical expertise and application of engineering principles, concepts, theory, and practice with the ability to organize, plan, schedule, conduct, and coordinate workloads to meet established deadlines or milestones with some experience in project leadership.
- Must possess the ability to understand new concepts quickly and apply them accurately throughout an evolving project environment.
- Experience with Hardware Description Language implementation of MODEM functions, and Embedded Software
- Experience with high-power motor drives, power conditioning systems, pulsed power systems, battery systems, high energy laser systems, space systems, advanced sensors, laser communications, target tracking, laser beam control/pointing, signal/image processing, and instrumentation.
Responsibilities
- Work with GA-EMS Engineering staff and chief engineers in the concept development and prototype design, integration, and test of high-power processing solutions for all product lines and technology areas.
- Exercise considerable latitude in determining technical objectives for the review, research, design, development, and/or solutions for designated engineering systems, projects, and programs.
- Generate electrical architecture solutions for new project needs, perform electrical engineering analyses for systems and circuits, document findings, communicate results to engineering and program management staff, give technical presentations, and manage technical effort schedules.
- Function in an advisory or leadership role for a project/program and provide planning, direction and oversight to less experienced professional staff or team of professional staff in technical efforts involving adaptive electro-optics, laser control systems, or space-based electronics.
- Formulate plans, typically multi-year, and coordinate solutions development and deployment including documentation, reporting, publishing, and making technical and other presentations to ensure viability of the solutions in an evolving environment.
- Evaluate the integration of the engineering solutions within the overall engineering environment and ensure that appropriate documentation, testing, maintenance, and engineering updates are completed.
- Plan for future applications of solutions based on new developments in engineering technology.
Other
- Typically requires a bachelor's degree, master's degree, or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and progressive engineering experience as follows; twelve (12) or more years of experience with a bachelor’s degree, ten (10) or more years of experience with a master’s degree, or seven (7) or more years with a PhD.
- The ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance is required.
- Must possess strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills to effectively interface with other departments, customers, government representatives, and/or professionals.
- Must be able to work on a self-initiated basis or in a team environment.
- Some travel and extended work schedules may be required.
